Chi Sigma Iota

Chi Sigma Iota is the international honor society of professional counseling. It
was established for counselors-in-training, counselor educators, and counselors
whose career commitment is to research and service. Its mission is to promote scholarship,
research, professionalism, leadership and excellence in counseling, and to recognize
high attainment in the pursuit of academic and clinical excellence. The Society
was established in 1985 by leaders in the counseling profession whose desire was
to recognize outstanding achievement and service. The Omega Upsilon chapter was
established at WVU in 2001. Visit the Chi Sigma Iota website, for more information.
